Classes Elect Officers
And Representatives
September 19 through 23, election week, was preceded by sophomore and freshman class meetings on September 13, 1955. The
freshman class of Rochester Junior College met in Room 317. The
meeting was called to order by Joe Harding. The class decided to
nominate four people for each office. After four people had been
nominated for each post, Bill Barnes brought up the subject that no
person should be nominated in the spirit of fun and that this was very
serious business. After the speech, a number of the people who had
been nominated, requested that their names be stricken from the
board. Dianne Teigen, the secretary for this meeting, did so.
The final slate of candidates
was as follows: for Council Representative, Harold Maile, Charles
Nelson, Roger Riege, and Augie
Schleicher. Class President, James
Haueter, Frank Johnson, Bill Kesler, and John Streiff. For Vice
President, John Dayton, Jean
Grimm, James Odland, and Neill
Porterman. For Secretary, Richard Ballou, Winifred Brown, Rosemary Kranz, qnd Marcia Peterson.
Miss Evans then told us that
there would be a list of the can
didates and their pictures on the
bulletin board outside the dean's
office. She also told us that there
would be placards to remind us
to vote.
The meeting adjourned after
the discussion was closed and
Miss Evans talked to the nominees after the meeting.
Winners of the primary elections were: for Student Council
Representative, Roger Riege and
Augie Schleicher; Class President,

Committee Sends
Books to Korea
During the past few weeks, the
committee for the "Books for
Korea" campaign have made
their final drive toward completion of arrangements to send the
first books to Korea. The result
is 18 boxes and 820 pounds of
approximately 320 books.
At work on the project for a
little over four months have been
Johng Lim, Neil Anderson, Jerry
Olerud, Mary Jane Huntsinger,
and Miss Mary Goette—collecting
books from Junior College students and faculty members and
citizens of Rochester, counting
them and enumerating the various types, and arranging for local publicity, and packing for
mailing'. The committee wishes
to report that their work has
been a Junior College project,
since two-thirds of the mailing
cost came from the college activity fund; the other one-third
was given by those who donated
books.
The following is a breakdown
of the various types of books being sent to Korean libraries and
to the Korean Ministry of Education, showing the diversity of subjects represented:
Accounting, 2; Typing, 1; Medicine, 77; Chemistry, 30; Biology,
13; Farming, 1; Physics, 6; Philosophy, 1; Psychology, 15; General Science, 12; European History, 10; Health, 11; Economics,
7; American and Eng'lish Literature, 25;, Sociology, 13; American
History, 15; American Government, 4; English Composition, 13;
Speech, 6; Music, 3; Art, 1; English Dictionaries, 9; Foreign Languages, 30.
The committee has reported
that the project is not yet completed—that many more books
have been promised, and more
are asked to contribute books to
the "Books for Korea" drive.
